I personally think that any time "hate crime" charges are filed with the police, that the investigation should automatically go in two directions: one in the direction of a legitimate crime, and the other in the direction of fraud by the so-called "victim." There's just too many of these frauds being committed.

Is the charge a false police report? He doesn't seem to have accused a particular person of the attack. I'm fine with a charge for making a false police report. I'm really uncomfortable with the "hate crime" scenario since it criminalizes thought and because it's selectively enforced. Certain types of hate are acceptable, obviously.

This is what happens when political power becomes the be-all and end-all, as it is for many junkies. That description (junkies) is apt, since it's a form of addiction that can destroy a person. As it has done to this pathetic fellow.

This is obviously a plot to discredit the Republican Party. A sock puppet fakes being a Republican and fakes an attack on himself. Then he recants, making the Republican Party look bad. Clever, but I see right through it.

Upon being elected Senator of a blue north eastern state, a big donor, with interest on federal contracts you could push, would lavish you with private plane trips, to a country, that, just so happens to have legal prostitution. And, once your political enemies got wind of it, they, themselves go and interview the prostitute. Who, is alleged to be underage, and, once she confirms the senators liaisons and adds that he did not paid her as promised, the story breaks. But the senator, not one to sit on his laurels, somehow manages to pull the chestnuts out of the fire, by getting the alleged underage prostitute to recant the liason. The would be dead duck senator, is now turning the tables on the people that broke the story, accusing them of paying the alleged underage prostitute, to concoct a story of paid underage pleasure.

How do you punish someone who already hurt himself far more than the law will for the crime he committed. If anyone in particular was defamed, then monetary damages are in order in a civil suit, but if he kicked his own ass, we should just laugh at him, and hope he never calls in a bomb threat.

Mercy is one thing - I'd respect a call for mercy. But he intended to hurt someone personally and hurt them badly. And he wanted to cheat the system. I disagree that he deserves a pass.

I'm not sure it's purposeful, but it does seem to favor the left when everything is questioned. If people automatically suspect every rape, assault, gun crime (heck, any crime) might be fake then you are placed in a position where the people with the most powerful voices get to define the crime.

. . . the Lefties can breathe easy because he's Republican; the righties because he's homosexual.

Actually, I just exhale in disgust at senselessness of it all. Then again, we of the conservative bent know full well that our ilk is incapable of such idiocy. So he may be gay, he may be Republican, but he ain't right.

So can we finally do away with hate crimes legislation? I mean if a republican can fake his own ass kicking and attribute it to a hate crime because he was a homosexual who didn't support another homosexual, then what do we need it for? Is this how republicans gay bash?
